There is nothing "just" about that! Cutting encode compute in half at the same quality allows for either turning up quality, speeding up publishing, or reducing costs.
At global scale with a global content library, even a 20% reduction in encode compute can save millions a year. As can a 5% reduction in average bitrate gain from more efficient use of compute. Reducing file size saves on storage and bandwidth to the viewer, and improves edge cache effeciency.
